Country Gardens Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation Center sits at 2045 Grand Army Hwy in Swansea, Massachusetts, with another site at 42 Prospect Ave in West Springfield, and people who visit often notice how much the staff talk with residents or how much residents interact with one another during tours, which are available by scheduling. The community has 86 beds in the skilled nursing facility and accepts Medicaid and Medicare, which helps many families with cost, and they offer to help people understand fees or arrange tours. It's a healthcare place with both short-term rehabilitation, like after surgery or injury, and long-term care for those who need greater support, and staff members give help with activities like bathing, dressing, and managing medicines, plus they'll help people who have trouble walking or need help with transfers, which really matters for people with limited mobility.
There are physical, occupational, and speech therapies on site, along with medical specialists, nurses, social workers, nutritionists, and dietitians who provide therapies, wound care, nutritional counseling, and help for issues like incontinence or Alzheimer's and related memory problems. People find a variety of social and recreational activities, from movie nights to music and arts programs, plus scheduled daily community-run activities, spiritual support, and events, and there's a movie theater, library, game room, garden, and walking paths outside for some fresh air, which can be nice for both residents and their visiting families.
The rooms come with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, and Wi-Fi, which adds a touch of comfort and lets people keep in touch with loved ones or stay entertained. There's a wellness room, spa or sauna, fitness programs, and a professional chef who prepares dining room meals with attention to special dietary needs, supporting people who need different foods for their health, and housekeeping, laundry, transportation, move-in help, and evening assistance are all offered as community services. Country Gardens posts updates about what services are currently open, sometimes has restrictions on new admissions and lets you call for information about the next available bed. Resident and family councils meet regularly to give feedback, and staff organize activities both indoors and outdoors with support for everyone, including spiritual programs and social events. Emergency alert systems, ongoing medication management, regular nursing care for up to 12-16 hours a day, and a 24-hour call system help ensure safety and prompt attention if needs arise, and the team focuses on making both the health and the social experience feel steady and supportive.
